[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 683993, member: 15032"] Somewhere: I agree on the car thing. We bought an old one for him when we first moved him away from a town with a skate park where he'd go to ride his BMX bike which he always said was a great way for him to deal with his anxiety. It was his hobby and loved taking it apart and retooling it and it was probably the ONLY thing that he was passionate about during our craziness. He started this interest when he was young before all the crap started. He even has videos on You Tube. Our thought was he'd use the car to go to the skate park but naturally it did not end up that way so after a few tries we took it away and sold it. Then he did well for some time and a few years passed and he seemed to have matured and we felt sorry for him and a guy at work was selling a great car for a steal and we were financially able so we did it again. Thinking he could work and go to school. Again, problems ensued so we took it away. We still have it though. This was probably something we did more for ourselves. This has been part of OUR journey, mainly my problem, trying to fix him and not knowing how and going in circles. Trying to reward him for good behavior but then it leads to bad behavior.
